Reinventing capitalism for the long-term is a far from easy task. There is a growing acceptance among business leaders of the need to broaden the pursuit of shareholder value to one that is based on inclusivity, sustainability and purpose. This newspaper has welcomed the direction. Some attempts to confront the problem, however, have been only skin deep. Adding the label “purpose” on to existing corporate models will not be enough. Companies and policymakers should not be afraid to explore whether the change should start at the foundations of the business world, and whether new corporate structures are needed to take capitalism in this new direction.
从长远考虑来重塑资本主义绝非易事。越来越多的企业领导者认识到，有必要从追求股东价值扩展到基于包容性、可持续性和目的的追求。英国《金融时报》对此表示欢迎。但是，解决该问题的一些尝试只是肤浅的。在现有的公司模式上加上“目的”标签是不够的。企业和政策制定者不应该害怕探索这种变化是否应该从商业世界的基础开始，以及是否需要新的企业架构来推动资本主义朝这个新的方向发展。
